Improved Hardness for Cut, Interdiction, and Firefighter Problems
We study variants of the classic $s$-$t$ cut problem and prove the following improved hardness results assuming the Unique Games Conjecture (UGC). - For any constant $k \geq 2$ and $ε> 0$, we show that Directed Multicut with $k$ source-sink pairs is hard to approximate within a factor $k - ε$. This matches the trivial $k$-approximation algorithm. By
